general pre-birth info

rudegere's official due date is the 26th of september.

rudegere is the inutero name we've given him until he is born. we've been referring to him as 'he' but only so that we don't call him 'it' which i think is a bit rude since he is a boy or a girl, we just don't know which yet. i had an ultrasound at about twenty weeks, but we didn't want to find out if he's a boy or a girl. we want the surprise at the end.

i'm happy to have a boy or a girl, as long as the baby is healthy & happy. i would prefer a girl, but mainly because i'm one of two sisters & i wouldn't know what to do with a boy. shroom would prefer a boy for the same kind of reason, he's one of three boys & wouldn't know what to do with a girl. so between the two of us, we should manage fine.

i plan to have a natural birth, but there's a second placenta floating around in there, so i'll be having another scan at thirty-six weeks (officially, that is on friday the 29th of august) to see where it's lying in the uterus. if it's in the way then i may have to have a caesarian. i'd prefer not to, but as my sister said, if this was thirty or fourty years ago, we'd know nothing about it until the time of the birth & then rudegere & myself might end up in major distress or worse, so at least this way we'll both be happy & healthy.

in the meantime, i'm thinking positively & rudegere & i are working on making sure that the placenta is safely out of the way so that we can have a natural birth.
